but certainly after line 11 there were issues associated with the ability in the united states to recover from the situation that was in, and i supported those tax relief measures, and i think they were partially responsible at least to the economic boom that we had in the mid 2000's. i do support extending all of them. however, i also believe that what we really should do is to fold the issue of extending the bush tax cuts into a much larger debate about fundamental tax reform. fundamental tax reform bill would make the nation more competitive globally, that will make it possible for us to make the tax is simpler, may raise some rates in areas and lo wer in others. but to have this campaign dogma about raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year really doesn't help the economy recover. but it certainly does create a good campaign fodder. i believe that we need to act in a bipartisan fashion, working with republicans and democrats together understanding our differences on this issue and try to come up with a more fundamental plan for tax reform that will make the u.s. more com

beyond that there are many people in the united states who think charters are an unmitigated good or alternatively an existential threat. the reality is they are neither of those. we are exceedingly fortunate to have roland prior with us today. i will introduce roland before i introduce the rest of the panel after he finishes. the project has done considerable work with roland. we are fortunate to have been able to do that. he has prepared an extraordinary paper which he is going to summarize. i would say roland's resume is a little hard to read. you would think it must be fake or something. how could anybody have done so much so quickly? i particularly want to know what a titanium lion is but i won't blanc that year. he is doing extraordinarily important and vital and groundbreaking work. if we are going to ever turnaround the decline in median income in this country and get back to raising living standards for america we are only going to do that by lifting up and truly changing public education in this country. that is the only way that will ever be achieved. let me introduce rola
